Retrieve a Fragment from a ViewPager

Question

I\'m using a ViewPager together with a FragmentStatePagerAdapter to host three different fragments:

• [Fragment1]
• [Fragment2]<

Answer 1

I couldn't find a simple, clean way to do this. However, the ViewPager widget is just another ViewGroup , which hosts your fragments. The ViewPager has these fragments as immediate children. So you could just iterate over them (using .getChildCount() and .getChildAt() ), and see if the fragment instance that you're looking for is currently loaded into the ViewPager and get a reference to it. E.g. you could use some static unique ID field to tell the fragments apart.

Note that the ViewPager may not have loaded the fragment you're looking for since it's a virtualizing container like ListView.
